Remote work settled one question permanently: the dog is a coworker now, and any return to a desk that excludes them is a demotion for everyone involved. The co-working industry noticed. Through the sector’s brutal post-pandemic shakeout — more on its most beautiful casualty below — the spaces that thrived tend to share a trait that has nothing to do with square footage or espresso machines: they let the dog in, and often they built for the dog outright.
Here are nine spaces across the country that treat your dog as a member, with real prices.
The one that’s basically a dog park with wifi
Work & Woof — Austin. The purest expression of the genre. This South Congress operation is a co-working space fused to a crate-free doggie daycare, built around a 4,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor play park. You work on Google Fiber with free local coffee; your dog gets treadmill sessions, enrichment activities, and photo booths. À la carte pricing runs $15 a day with the dog at your side, $20 for a half-day of play park, $30 for a full daycare day while you grind. The motto — “You Work, They Play” — is a literal service description.
The community builders
Co+Hoots — Phoenix. Minority-owned, female-founded, and purpose-driven, Co+Hoots houses over 280 entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses with fast wifi, meeting rooms, a podcast studio, and business classes — plus an open door for well-behaved dogs. Flex memberships from $99 a month; day passes $35.
BoxJelly — Honolulu. Hawaii’s community-first workspace in urban Kaka’ako comes with panoramic views of Ala Moana Beach Park, a longboard society, and an Artists Anonymous group. Natural light for you, a beach-park view for the dog. $29 a day, $100 for a five-day pack, $299 monthly.
Green Spaces — Denver. An eco-focused RiNo space stuffed with more than 100 plants, drawing nonprofits, small businesses, remote workers, and artists. Programming runs from yoga and massage to sound-healing sessions and a weekly happy hour — and members get access to a 3-D printer, so your dog’s employee-of-the-month trophy is a real option. Day passes $25; memberships from $149 a month.
The LAB Miami — Wynwood. A 10,000-square-foot converted warehouse in the arts district that pushes members out into the surrounding galleries and restaurants with a bike- and skateboard-share program. Dogs are welcome in the entrepreneurial chaos. From $300 a month.
The design-forward chains
Industrious — 160+ locations. The polished national option: cafes, wellness rooms, lounges, and two monthly guest passes, with many dog-friendly locations. The catch is the homework — dog policy varies by building, so check the “building amenities” section for your location before committing. From $399 a month.
Bond Collective — NYC, LA, D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago. Boutique luxury with rooftop lounges, mothers’ rooms, spa water, towel-service showers, and photo and sound studios at the Gowanus location, should your dog’s podcast finally get greenlit. Day passes from $25; co-working from $300 a month.
The Shop — New Orleans and Salt Lake City. A historic NOLA warehouse and a new SLC development, both aimed at creative professionals, both welcoming canine coworkers. Cultural programming, volunteer opportunities, and up to 40 percent off benefits, payroll, and HR services sweeten membership. Pricing by inquiry.
The wildcard
Ecosystem Coworking — San Francisco. A workspace inside a building bursting with art, music, design, and tech, with hot desks, private offices, a podcast and content-creation room, an amphitheater, and VIP access to Mirus Art Gallery events. Dog-friendly, and very San Francisco. Pricing by inquiry.
What’s new: the shakeout claimed the prettiest one
If this list once had an obvious crown jewel, it was Second Home Hollywood — the selgascano-designed “urban jungle” of yellow-ringed garden pods buried in 6,500 plants across two acres, where dogs wandered between sound baths and free member lunches. It’s gone. The London-based Second Home group hit severe financial trouble (losses reached £13 million in 2021 as revenue slid), entered administration, and was bought out by its own managers; the Hollywood campus closed and was cut loose from the group, resurfacing under new identity as The Preserve.
The takeaway for anyone shopping this list: co-working economics remain fragile, so treat day passes as auditions before buying an annual membership anywhere — and notice that the survivors above skew toward spaces where dog-friendliness is structural (a play park, a community ethos) rather than a marketing garnish. The perk that gets you in the door turns out to be a decent proxy for a business that knows exactly who its members are.
